This Clothes Hanger Book Report works with any fiction book! It’s incredibly detailed, so students can complete every aspect of this project independently! First, students complete a draft packet while reading their books. They’ll fill the packet with details about the plot, setting and characters. After finishing the book they’ll analyze its theme and write a personal review. Next, they’ll fill in clothing shapes with final copy versions of their work! Finally, they’ll assemble their work onto a paper or real clothes hanger! Students’ work will hang below a hanger with the message “Try this book on for size!” Not only do these make great displays, these projects get kids thinking about and reflecting on their reading in new and unique ways! The Clothes Hanger Book Project is designed for students to complete on ANY FICTION BOOK. The highly detailed handouts and worksheets in this resource are designed so that students can either work on the project in class or completely independently outside of the classroom. Students are required to complete a first draft of all project elements so that the final project reflects their best work. The end result is a vivid, comprehensive, and creative book report! This project is easily adaptable for use as a response to a class-wide novel study, independent reading project, or summer reading project. Also, the final hanging book mobiles are a great addition to your classroom library. Display them near your classroom library and students can review them before selecting their next novel! Step-by-step guides and directions are included for students. Worksheets and handouts for completing the hands-on book report project are part of this resource. Skills developed with this book report project: Developing an understanding of a variety of genres Comprehension and analytic skills Plot, setting, theme and character analysis Critical thinking Editing and revising written responses to improve content and organization as well as spelling, grammar and punctuation This detailed project includes: Teacher Project Overview including extension ideas Student Packet with detailed instructions and guides: - Clothes Hanger Book Project Overview - How-to Instructions on assembling the project (2 versions depending on whether students create a paper hanger or use a real one) - First Draft - Plot Outline - First Draft - Character Analysis - First Draft - Setting Details - First Draft – Theme Analysis - First Draft - Personal Reflection - First Draft – Hanger Design Final copy cut-out resources in the shape of clothing - Plot, Character, Setting, Theme, Review Common Core Aligned Project: RL.1, RL.2, RL.3, RL.6, RL.10 W.3, W.4, W.5, W.6, W.10 L.1, L.2, L.3, L.5, L.6 You may also like… Doodle Book Report - Students complete a book report in a fun doodle-style template Reading Comprehension Skills - Mini-Unit SUPER BUNDLE! - Making Inferences, Main Idea, Predictions, Sequencing, Cause and Effect, and Context Clues Poetry Reading, Writing, and Analyzing BUNDLE!

It's important that kids have positive self-esteem that encourages them to try new things, overcome challenges and be happy.
I was flipping through a recent edition of Mailbox Magazine and saw this adorable frog template. The magazine featured a different activity for the frog, but I thought it would make a great articulation craftivity! Here's what you need: Frog Template (HERE is a cute one from DLTK kids.com if you don't get Mailbox) Small articulation (or vocabulary) pictures Red construction paper, cut into strips Scissors Crayons Glue Paper clips (optional) To create the small articulation pictures, I used Lesson Pix. If you haven't used Lesson Pix yet, head on over and try it out (you can give it a test run before subscribing, but it's well worth the $36.00/year subscription fee!) Lesson Pix has a sound finder feature, which I used to get target words for my articulation groups. I created picture cards with the 35 pictures/page option: I colored the frog and lilypad and cut the frog's mouth out. Then I attached the strip of paper to the backside of the frog and glued the pictures on his tongue. You can roll up the frog's tongue and hold it together with a paper clip. This will give it a curly shape even after you remove the paper clip. Kids can practice their words as they unroll the frog's tongue. Other Ways to Use This Craft: Open Ended - You could get some bug stickers and have kids stick the stickers on the frog's tongue for each X number of desired responses (language or artic). Patterning - Use the frog's tongue as a pattern strip (e.g., fly, beetle, fly, beetle) Concepts - Start with a bug in the center of the frog's tongue. Have students glue more bugs "above" or "below" the first. Sequencing - Find small pictures (or use your photocopier to reduce) of steps of a sequence. Have students cut out and glue to the frog's tongue in the correct order. I found some frog life cycle sequencing pictures on Enchanted Learning and Making Learning Fun. What else would you have kids glue to the frog's tongue? I'd love to hear your ideas!
The days of dioramas and book reports may be long gone. (Is it wrong that I’m a little sad about that?) Yet the expectation that students read and express their understanding of what they’ve read remains as strong as ever. So what’s a teacher to do? More specifically, what’s a creative teacher to do, when she doesn’t want to rely on worksheets? Get creative, of course! I’ve compiled 9 Fun Book Projects for you. They’re quick and easy to prepare, and best of all, they’re engaging – for both your students and you. No more slogging through piles of “Why I Liked This Book!” Take a look: Write a different ending -- What if the main character didn’t make it in the end? Or the dogs had lived? Or the culprit was the best friend? Your students’ imaginations can really wander with this assignment. Maybe their alternate ending will be even better than the original! Offer to let students draw their new ending as a bonus. Give a book talk --- Book talks are a wonderful way for students to demonstrate their understanding of books that they have read while practicing their writing and speaking skills. They're a great book project because they combine so many skills...and students love listening to one another. Oh, and the added bonus is that students can learn about books that they're interested in reading as they listen to the book talks. If you'd like to give them a try, then check out this FREE BOOK TALK GUIDE. It includes an overview of book talks, pre-write, final copy, and tips and tricks for presenting a book talk. Find it HERE. Write a sequel -- If you have the time, your students may want to extend their alternative endings into a whole second book (or at least a few pages or a chapter). After all, who hasn’t reached the end of a great read and wished for more? This will be a challenge, as students will have to build on the original plot lines and character outlines. Refer them to some famous book series for inspiration. Write a letter to the author -- Take a page from Beverly Cleary’s classic Dear Mr. Henshaw and have students write a thoughtful letter, with questions for the author of their current reading selection (or a favorite book). Most authors love to write (of course!) and appreciate opportunities to interact directly with their readers. Address letters (or e-mails) to the publisher, or see if the author has contact information on his or her website. It never hurts for students to practice their letter-writing and envelope-addressing skills, either – at least as long as snail mail is still around. Your students will be thrilled to get a response, too. Great news! I've put together three stationary templates that students can use when drafting their letters. They're a special FREEBIE just for you! Click here to check them out...and download them for free! Choose a response --- Here's an idea that students love...give them choices! It's amazing how giving students the ability to select the response or project that they would like to complete instantly increases their engagement. With that in mind, I created a series of "This or That" reading responses. Each This or That Reading Prompt includes instruction at the top of the worksheet and then 2 reading response choices for students to showcase their learning. After reviewing the choices, students can choose to do the "This" prompt or the "That" prompt. You can easily turn this into a book project by having students complete 5 (or so) different prompts while reading the book and submit them all as a final project when they finish reading the book. Learn more HERE. Set it to music -- Have your students capture a pivotal scene from the book in a song set to familiar music. It can be a ballad, a pop song, a rap – whatever speaks to them or best works with the scene. Encourage students who select this option to put on a concert. For students who are shy to perform, give them the option of recording their song privately, so you can play it without them having to get up in front of the class. Doodle it --- This is my FAVORITE type of book project! That's because it combines reflection, thinking and DOODLING! You can instantly take book reports and book projects to a whole new level with a Doodle Book Review! First, students complete a planning guide. Then, they design a Doodle Book Review! Check it out HERE! There's even this cinema-themed version that your students are sure to love. Find it HERE. Create a File Folder --- I first developed this book project idea many years ago as a summer reading project. Then, I altered it slightly so that it could be completed during anytime of the school year with any book. With this project, students compile critical information from the book they read including the plot, characters, setting, and a reflection in a manila file folder. The file folder book report includes detailed instructions so that students can complete it all independently. The end result is a compact project that students love! Oh, and you can store the file folders by your classroom library for students to reference when picking out a book! Find more details HERE. Blog about it -- If you have a classroom webpage, it can be fairly simple to create a live (and private) blog that students can use to discuss and debate the merits of their favorite books. This option might work best for students who have read the same book. Make sure you establish expectations for a civil online conversation. You can get in on the convo, too! Focusing on nonfiction in your classroom? Try one of these book report alternatives: Ø Create a scrapbook with images and facts about the book topic. Ø Write interview questions for the main character (if reading a biography, for example). Extend this assignment by allowing students to dress up as the character and record their responses to the interview questions. Ø Write a diary that one of the story’s main characters might have kept before, during, or after the book’s events. Make sure students emphasize what the character is thinking and feeling to give it an authentic feel. Ø Write a news story about the main event in the book (for example, the sinking of the Titanic). This is a good opportunity to practice this very specific form of writing. You’ll want to review inverted pyramid style and how to use quotes if you go this route. BONUS: Wait! I have one more idea. Here's a new spin on the classic book report mobile! Why not have students report out on the plot, setting, characters, and theme on fun pieces of paper clothing? Then students can hang their work from a hanger that says, "Try this book on for size!" This project includes a set of first draft materials and final copy elements so that students can create a high quality project! Here's some links for some of the project ideas above: ➧ File Folder Book Project (any book!) ➧ Doodle and Do Book Review (doodle book project) ➧ This or That Reading Response Prompts ➧ Book Talk (freebie) ➧ Letter to the Author Stationary Templates (FREE!) ➧ Clothes Hanger Book Report I hope that you've found some fun book project ideas to try in your classroom! Happy reading! Mary Beth

In my previous post, I reviewed Paper Folding Templates, by Trish Witkowski (Apple Press, 2012). The author expressed the desire for the templates to be used as "a springboard for creativity". Today's blogpost projects are based upon a couple of the wow-factor designs in the book. First up, a couple of Fold 'n' Twist Cards, based upon the Twist Fold card on page 151: The design is true to the template, whose design lines are similar to these: I simply dropped a design into the format. (The circle of text in the centre says "Happy Spring!", in case you were wondering.) After that straightforward use of the format, I decided to experiment and turn the idea into a flower shape: With inner petals No inner petals These cards are big fun in that they have a TARDIS-like effect - bigger on the inside (once they have been opened). Like so: To open, pull petals in opposite directions. Remove the seal first! Tah dah! The text reads " Birthday Wishes". Since I was pursuing a Springtime/flower theme, I then followed up with a hexagonal design. The book featured a folded card with a configuration similar to the Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt pattern: I played around with it, edited it down and tried different folding methods to come up with these: The basic pattern is like this: I have always been partial to swirls! Pinch the corners to make the triangles, fold them flat to the centre, spiralling them round. So there you go - start with a template, then experiment. Here are your downloadable printables (my original designs, not using the templates from the book, but using the ideas in the book as a starting point): TwistFoldSpring.pdf TwistFoldBirthdayFlowerPetal.pdf TwistFoldBirthdayFlower.pdf FoldingFlowerGetWell.pdf FoldingFlowerThinkingofYou.pdf Have fun making your surprise-factor cards. And enjoy experimenting with folded shapes.
